Former Toledo mayor Whitlock leads Belgian nurse relief effort
Former Toledo mayor and now U S minister to Belgium, Whitlock, has clashed with German authorities ruling most of Belgium over the release of seven English nurses under his protection. The nurses were jailed at Mons despite assurances from Brussels officials and despite Whitlock's envoy present. Whitlock’s aide was arrested, though credentialed as both diplomat and citizen. Only when Whitlock insisted did the nurses gain freedom to resume their voyage to England.
